Team Pfeiffer Cycling wins at VT

April 8, 2009

Blacksburg, VA --† After a hard fifteen mile hoop is circled several times, the finish line of the Virginia Tech road race can be seen after a grueling two and a half mile climb that proves to be difficult for even the best climbers.† Despite the challenging course, Team Pfeiffer Cycling prevailed and captured the win at Virginia Tech.

Pfeiffer freshman Steve Schott (Coraopolis, PA) proved to be the best Falcon of the day taking a strong 2nd place win in the menís A race. Fellow freshmen Turner Johnson (Renfrew, PA), Joey Rosskopf (Decatur, GA), and Michael Brown (Kernersville, NC) came in 4th, 5th, and 20th, respectively. Freshman KC Fee (Wesley Chapel, FL) placed 5th in the womenís A race.

Later in the afternoon, Pfeiffer raced in the team time trial.† The Pfeiffer A team won by catching and passing the North Carolina State University team.† The menís D team took a strong 3rd place after catching and passing Appalachian State University.

In the overall Atlantic Collegiate Cycling Conference (ACCC) individual standings Joey Rosskopf remains number one in the menís A division.† Alex Strattman stands at number one in the menís D field.

Pfeiffer has one regular season conference race left at Appalachian State University April 11 and 12. The ACCC Conference Championships will be held at Wake Forest April 18 and 19. The championship race will be in downtown Winston-Salem on April 19.
